Yuan Reads Zhang Like a Book
Level 31
: Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante
Yiwen Yuan was on the button and made it 2,500,000 once it had folded to her. Zhuoqun Zhang flatted in the small blind, and he led out for 1,900,000 on the 10♣7♣9♥ flop.
Yuan called, and the 4♥ rolled off on the turn. The two remaining Chinese contenders both checked it, after which the 7♠ river completed the board.
Zhang re-engaged, betting 2,600,000. Yuan took some time to think things through, then tossed in a call.
Zhang had bricked his draws with 6♥5♥, meaning Yuan won the pot with just ace-high, tabling A♥K♥.
